Re: "The international requirements have "changed" in the eyes of the supreme court." How so? "A "competent tribunal" could indeed just be a few military officers holding a brief hearing in the field. But recently the US Supreme Court rejected that idea, or at least rejected such a tribunal being created by the executive branch." No, I don't believe that is what they have said at all. (The issue of what legal rights apply to an American citizen is quite different from what the international treaty-derived rights are that apply to foreigners captured on foreign soil by our military.)
